Let’s Talk about Mixolog, Part 35

Cabo Cocktail

by Amer A. Vargas

On this occasion, a butler wrote in from Los Cabos, which seemed a good reason to introduce you to a refreshing and easy-to-drink cocktail, created by the people of mixthatdrink.com, and which they called Cabo, in honor of this region of Mexico. As with many cocktails of Mexican origin, the Cabo is based on this beautiful country’s main spirit: Tequila.

Preparation is very simple,: 1.5 oz/ 4.5 cl of tequila is mixed with just two other ingredients: ¼ oz/ 0.75 cl of lime juice and 3 oz/ 9 cl of pineapple juice. Mix the ingredients in a shaker with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass, decorating the rim with a pineapple wedge.

You can make the presentation more appealing by rimming the glass with red sugar (sugar+grenadine syrup, for example), and/or by adding a couple of spearmint leaves to the pineapple wedge.

Tasty. Sweet. Refreshing… Cheers!
